I was out 4 days in the past 2 weeks and the fishing has gotten better each trip. On the 6th, we fished lakers to put some fish on the LOC board and had a blast. Put a bunch in the boat including a 18.06 that put us on the board. On the 11th, we fished kings in 140 to 180 East and West of the creek and did steelhead and kings in good numbers. On the 13th, we had a great trip in the same 140 -180 zone. We did 18 king (14 were over 18lbs - 4 of the 14 were 25 to 26 and change) 6 steelies and one laker. On the 14th, we did 14 kings (2 over 21lbs including a 28.02 most were in the 12 to 18 lb range) 6 steelhead, one coho and one atlantic @ 12 lbs. The fishing has been really consistant in 140 to 180. A West troll has produced more bites than an East troll. We took more fish on divers and coppers. Riggers produced fish but not as many.

Keep on hating them guys.

I did a nice Atlantic Saturday and 2 cohos in the past week. One coho was about 5 and the other was 8.

Gald to see you made it in safe. Keep the old belts as spares in the cuddy.

2's. I do not trust the weathermen as far as I can throw them. We will see.

IMO, I would trust a Spro swivel tied to mono with a Uni knot over the albright. Watch knot wars on North American Fishermen and the Uni is one of the strongest knots out there. The Albright knot did not do well at all during their tests.

I heard they were making some Speedo's up for a certain person that mentioned it last year!

What determies that its more dependable? Albright knot has failed a couple times on me in 4 years of running copper. The Haywire and Spro has not failed yet.

Electric fly swatter from Harbor Freight tools. Less than $10.00 and works great. It also makes for a great conversation piece.

Spro swivel, haywire twist and shrink tubing. Easy to tie and more dependable than the albright knot.

When currents are heavy, and you turn sharp, you will more than likely end up with a tangled rigger or 2. Another thing to consider is boat slip in the wind. If you are trolling west of east and the wind is out of the south, your boat is slipping slightly north. If you let the rigger on the one side of the boat down fast, it will fall straight down. The rigger on the other side of the boat is actually angled under the boat (because of the slip) and the other rigger you just dropped with sometimes tangle the other.

I will send you a PM.

Captains Cove in Oak Orchard sells them. Check with Michelle before you ride out.

It is freeze dried and salted. I still brine mine. They are really firm and hold up better than other brands.

Nice report Rick. It is amazing how those deformed kings still manage to feed enough to surivive. Congrats on the derby king.

It does peak soon and gets a little better. Today they were horrible.

Congrats on the steelie and once again, awesome live reports. Keep up the good work.

Total Boated:? Species Breakdown:4 Kings, 1 steelhead and tons of lakers Hot Lure: Spin n glow Trolling Speed:1.3 - 2.7 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 95 - 280 Lure Depth: KINGS / STEELHEAD - 65 - 100 DOWN LAKER - BOTTOM ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS ==================== Fished silvers until 930 and put one laker, 4 kings (3 teenagers one jumbo skipper) and one steelhead in the boat. After a slow pick, we decided to fish lakers. Ran down to my usual weigh points and could not keep 2 rods down for 2 1/2 hours. Ended up putting the leading laker and the third place laker on the board. Hammerhead cowbells with my custom spin n glows did the trick. I will upload a pick of Kurt (Canuck33) and Keith (Tessier) with their chickens tomorrow.

I have not tried the flea strippers but the Erie Dearie cutbait is awesome. It works the same as the other brands but lasts a couple fish instead of getting ripped to pieces after one fish.

I'm in the opposite boat. I perfer the roller rods over twillie and regular guides. Super smooth reeling in fish and a tripped dipsey.

Good luck the smallmouth population is low. I would look on the strructure off of Devils Nose or all the way down to Wautoma Shoals. Look in 30 - 60 fow. The bass have been caught a lot deeper than the past.

Come on Scott, there is no way you will fit in a 2X. Who do you plan on putting in that shirt with you?

That is why she lets him fish 6 out of 7 days of the week!

No but the channel is 1' deep already. Come on winter!

Scott, You have to run them to catch fish on them!
